EasyPark comes to downtown Dover today

DOVER — Parking Manager Bill Simons officially announced last week the sales of the transponders will begin after the Parking Commission meeting this morning.

“We have been field testing the devices and sprucing up any last minute backroom software issues,” Simons said. “Everything looks good to go for the 18th.”

EasyPark will provide an alternative way for drivers in the Garrison City to pay for parking. Instead of having to get out of the car to pay the meter, Dover residents may purchase a transponder at the Dover police station or online at EasyPark’s website for $19.95 with $10 worth of parking funds already loaded into the device providing an easier and smoother process to paying for parking.

There is an on and off button and an up and down arrow on the device for drivers to choose which town they are parking in, which area they are in and to notify them on how much it will cost to park in their desired spot. They press on to start the timer and are on their way.
